Our research group is based at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton, United Kingdom.
We apply omics and cultivation-independent and dependent approaches to better understand the ecology and function of the human gut microbiome in health and disease.
People
Fatima Pereira, PI and Lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences.
I obtained my PhD in Molecular Biology from NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at CeMESS, University of Vienna, Austria. My postdoctoral research focused on understanding gut microbiome function at the single cell level and how gut microbes modulate gut inflammation and colonisation resistance. As a Postdoctoral researcher I secured funding through a Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) fellowship from the European Comission, and a Young Investigator Research Group grant from the Austrian Science Fund.
